Series “All the Secrets of the Earth” The history of every nation has its own mysteries and secrets. Of course, these mysteries and secrets also exist in Russian history. Perhaps, regarding the secrets of our history, we were even more “lucky” than other European states. In any case, if we know a lot about the origins and early history of the French or English, then with Russian history everything is a little different. The people, who are usually called Russian, jumps onto the world stage, like a jack-in-the-box: just as if he didn’t exist, and here he is! By and large, the whole of Russian history is generally more politics than history. And this state of affairs, of course, created many terrible and monstrous secrets, the investigation of which is the subject of the new and long-awaited book by Lyn von Pahl.
